Another update
May. 18th, 2013 01:21 amI suppose it's about time I posted an update:
Looks like we'll now be getting 11 furlough days, which will take effect around July 8. I'll admit that it'll be nice to get some extra time off, but at the same time I lose the regular pay as well as sick and annual leave (for every 80 hours furloughed, I lose 4 hours of sick pay and 6 hours of regular leave). I'll survive, but (as I posted earlier) it means no trips for the rest of this year and next. And given Congress' inability to resolve the federal budget, 2014-15 looks to be more of the same. Sorry guys.
On a different note, I could also be out of a job on the Guard side. I have a PT test coming up in July, and while I've been getting back into doing regular PT, I don't think I'll pass this next round. I have a couple more attempts afterward, but if those don't pan out, then I'll be separating from there, probably by mid-2015. And even if that doesn't happen, the weather flight that I'm part of could be dissolved by then. We'll have to see what happens.
So unfortunately not much good news in the way of updates. But at least it's an update.
